I woke up this mornin and found a ton of snails in my 10 gallon.They are everywhere in the tank, they cover the whole tank.I had some letuce in the tank wit some convicts that I had in there.Does anyone kno what might of happened and does anyone kno what I can do to fix it

Somehow a snail or snail eggs has snuck in. Now all you can do in your size tank is fish them out by hand. Try putting a jar with a slice of cooked zuchinni or lettuce in it at night...Then in the morning remove all the snails from the jar.

I knew the Clown Loach ate snails (cannot put them in my little 10 gal), but Khuli?! No way! Really? Has anyone seen evidence of this?

Anyone know if Red-tail blacks ever munch on snails?

I have LOTS of pond snails and the way I formerly kept them under control was to smash them so my angel and emperor tetras could gobble them up. Then I had a massive parasite problem (either flukes or leaches! Clout took care of them) so I stopped crushing them. I had a re-infestation and had to use Clout again. Am I destined to repeat this cycle unless I get my pond snail problem eliminated or under control? Pond snails do carry those parasites my tank got infested with, right? Suggestions? I'll see about trying a snail trap, but I've been considering adding salt. Would that control such large parasites as flukes/leaches? Would it harm my emperor tetras (I've heard salt is not a good idea for Neons....I read badman's article on salt, just wishing for some feedback!)

As I stated previously, I used to smash snails for my fish and they loved them. However, I thought that may have introduced flukes/leaches into my tank, so I stopped. However, I had a re-infestation, so I guess it's the snails presence (being carriers) and not whether or not I squash them....

Anyone else have this problem?

And does anyone know how emperor tetras would react to salt in the water (thinking of using it to attempt parasite control rather than waiting until I see those buggers...)?
